Txepelerías Championship
A friend of Lutxana and I started to remember: pollution, deaths, protests, sirens, spills, more deaths… Scurvy sang in Bizkaia when we were rats. Since we were young, we learned that our lives had no responsibility. Every time there was an industrial reconversion and, as if lindane had stolen our memory, we prefer to forget it.
The deindustrialization process affected the entire state. Conditio sine qua where he was to enter Europe. Because Europe has planned from the outset the division of labour between the Member States. Thus, the Spanish State had to specialize in the tertiary sector and within it in tourism. It is an ideal place with its sun and its paellas, sangria and fiesta… and, of course, with all the brothels that are involuntarily or voluntarily forgotten in any study. Spain is a leader in the business of prostitution, first in Europe, third in the world.
We all know what tourism means. On the one hand, low wages and great precariousness; temporary contracts, as if we were only eating in the summer season; multiservice companies and imaginative tools of exploitation... On the other hand, the touristic city excludes citizenship, making access to housing impossible. We are suffering in bone pulp throughout the Basque Country: Bilbao, Donostia, coast, Norte…
And there's the Guggenheim, the project flag. They have recently sung the flowers of the 25-year-old business. Money is said to be in abundance… Yes, but in the pockets of hotel owners, investment funds and multinationals. It is.
But let us not forget that tourism is based on mobility. A tourist is a person moving from one place to another. The flood of tourists in recent years has been made possible by the low price of transport and, above all, of flights. Now that we're in the midst of a decline in oil, what? The CEO of Ryanair has already warned that cheap flights are over. And it's not something cyclical or war, but one of the causes of war is the shortage of raw materials.
All of this starts to be affected, for example, when we fill the deposit. We look at heating with fear, but we should be more afraid to know that not having to turn it on is still the direct fault of the climatic
change tico.Hemos overcome the physical limits of the Earth and that is not back. You can't get out of the place where you're not. And this will lead to an earthquake that we cannot foresee in the whole socio-economic structure. Meanwhile, they remain committed to building another Guggenheim. A very crazy proposal: to keep pulling away a business that ends, unless in the middle of a biosphere reserve. But what is this, the Chepery Championship?
We've learned it from a young age. Our lives don't worry that the capitalist system is painted with green, violet or any color. Nor do they have any responsibility for the authorities whose main objective is to protect this system.
We should be prepared for the next juncture. Time is relative but not indefinite. We will have to do a more profound remodeling than that imposed on us at the end of the last century. On this occasion it is indispensable and inevitable. They know that too, but asking honesty is too much.

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]
On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]
In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

That was said to me by the former student, who took a long time to file a complaint that was in court months and who, on the recommendation of the psychologist, had withdrawn the complaint of rape. And I kept quiet, unable to guess what to tell the young man that he still had... [+]
Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
